To accommodate pilgrims visiting the Ashadi Fair in Pandharpur from July 1st to July 10th, 2025, Central Railway will operate 80 Ashadi Special trains to Pandharpur and Miraj. During Ashadhi Ekadashi, people travel to Pandharpur and Miraj as part of a significant spiritual journey honouring Lord Vitthal (Vithoba), a cherished manifestation of Lord Krishna. In a custom known as the "Wari," which has its roots in the Bhakti movement led by saints like Sant Tukaram and Sant Dnyaneshwar, hundreds of Warkaris (devotees) travel days to reach Pandharpur, the primary pilgrimage site. Ashadhi Ekadashi, which represents devotion, equality, and surrender, is regarded as the most auspicious day to worship Vitthal. Miraj is an essential portion of the pilgrimage journey since it is a major stopping or regrouping place for many pilgrims travelling to Pandharpur, particularly those from southern Maharashtra and Karnataka.
